Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Verdeckbefestigung an Cabriolet-Fahrzeugen gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a convertible top attachment to convertible vehicles according to the preamble of
Bei einer bekannten Verdeckbefestigung dieser Art (DE-C-1 192 529) ist der Verdeckstoff in einer als Befestigungsrinne ausgebildeten Befestigungsausformung durch ein von außen aufgelegtes Spannglied gehalten, mit dem der Verdeckstoff in Form einer Schleife in die Befestigungsrinne hineingezogen wird. Diese im hinteren Teil des Fahrzeuges am oberen Karosserierand sichtbar angeordnete Verdeckbefestigung bildet einen feuchteempfindlichen Stauraum, da die Befestigungsrinne nur durch eine Verdeckwulst abgedeckt ist. Mit der unmittelbaren Auflage des als Spanndraht ausgebildeten Spanngliedes auf die Schleife des Verdeckstoffes sind mit den notwendigen Spannkräften im Bereich der Befestigungsausformung nachteilige Kerbwirkungen verbunden, die den Verdeckstoff randseitig schädigen können.In a known convertible top fastening of this type (DE-C-1 192 529), the convertible top fabric is held in a fastening configuration designed as a fastening gutter by an externally placed tension member, with which the convertible top material is drawn into the fastening gutter in the form of a loop. This convertible top attachment, which is visibly arranged in the rear part of the vehicle at the upper edge of the body, forms a moisture-sensitive storage space, since the attachment channel is only covered by a convertible top bead. When the tendon, which is designed as a tensioning wire, is placed directly on the loop of the convertible top fabric, the necessary tensioning forces in the area of the fastening formation are associated with disadvantageous notch effects which can damage the convertible top fabric on the edges.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Verdeckbefestigung zu schaffen, die einfach montierbar ist und eine zugfeste, zuverlässig dichte Verbindung des Verdeckstoffes mit der Karosserie in optisch unauffälliger Befestigungslage erbringt.The invention has for its object to provide a convertible top attachment that is easy to assemble and provides a tensile, reliably tight connection of the convertible top fabric to the body in an optically unobtrusive mounting position.
Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe durch eine Verdeckbefestigung an Cabriolet-Fahrzeugen mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Hinsichtlich wesentlicher weiterer Ausgestaltungen wird auf die Ansprüche 2 bis 24 verwiesen.The invention solves this problem by fastening the convertible top to convertible vehicles with the features of
Die Erfindung schafft eine Verdeckbefestigung an Cabriolet-Fahrzeugen, die aufgrund des mit dem Verdeckstoffrand wasserdicht verbundenen Klemmprofils mit dem integrierten Spannglied eine einfache Montage des Verdeckstoffes mit der Karosserie-Klemmleiste ermöglicht. In verspannter Verbindungsstellung wird der schleifenfrei am Klemmprofil gehaltene Verdeckstoffrand nur Zugbelastungen ausgesetzt, so daß mit dieser kerbwirkungsfreien Verspannung eine zuverlässig dichte Verbindung hergestellt ist. Die Verlagerung der Befestigungsausformung in den abgedeckten Karosserieschachtbereich verbessert mit einer nicht sichtbaren Verdeckbefestigung den optischen Gesamteindruck im hinteren Teil des Cabriolet-Fahrzeuges.The invention provides a convertible top attachment to convertible vehicles which, owing to the clamping profile connected to the convertible top edge in a watertight manner, enables the convertible top material to be easily installed with the body clamping strip with the integrated tensioning element. In the tensioned connection position, the edge of the convertible top material held on the clamping profile without loops is only exposed to tensile loads, so that a reliably tight connection is established with this non-notch effect tension. The shifting of the fastening shape in the covered body shaft area improves the overall visual impression in the rear part of the convertible vehicle with a concealed fastening.
